About Coach Julie


One of my favorite places.
My work as a swim instructor combines three of my great loves: helping others, aquatics, and teaching.

Swimming has been an integral part of my life for as long as I can remember. I began taking swim lessons when I was about preschool age, then joined the swim team at age 7. Swimming competitively through high school and college was a joy. My career as a swim instructor began in 1994 when I earned my Red Cross Water Safety Instructor certification.

When I met my husband, he was wisely afraid of the water because he could not swim at all. Together, we remedied that situation. We've welcomed three children, whom I've also taught to swim. Twenty-three years of experience as a mother and nine as a homeschooler have added tremendously to my expertise with children. I use a blend of styles that takes the best from my Red Cross, YMCA, and other pool trainings, as well as my ongoing personal experience and research. I love to help people of all ages and backgrounds become at home in the water. Read what my students say about my lessons.


I live with three of my students!
